Blood donors have an increased risk of low hemoglobin (Hb) levels due to iron deficiency. Therefore, knowledge of genetic variants associated with low Hb could facilitate individualized donation intervals. We have previously reported three specific single‐nucleotide polymorphisms that were associated with ferritin levels in blood donors. In this study, we investigated the effect of these single‐nucleotide polymorphisms on Hb levels in 15,567 Danish blood donors.
